On my system, I run ntpdate from the ip-up script to sync my Linux box
with a network time server. Then on the Windows boxes I placed a shortcut
in the startup folder that runs the command: "net time \\server /set /yes"
to sync the Windows boxes with the Linux box. (just replace the name
'server' with the actual server name) I suspect this trick will only work if
you are running Samba on the Linux box, but with a mixed enviroment, I
find it very helpful to do just that.
